Bare Act

The Bengal, Agra and Assam Civil Courts (Bihar Amendment) Act, 2013

This law amends the Bengal, Agra and Assam Civil Courts Act, 1887 specifically for the state of Bihar. It updates the definitions of what counts as a Civil Court and a Small Causes Court to include specific types of tribunals. The most important change is that it raises the monetary limits for these courts, allowing them to handle larger financial disputes. This helps the judicial system in Bihar manage cases more efficiently by giving lower courts the authority to resolve higher-value matters without sending them to higher courts.
